Tui Na is a hands-on body treatment which focuses on moving and invigorating the flow of Qi (vital energy) to bring the body back into balance. This is done through the stimulation acupuncture points and channels using a variety of manual massage techniques and working on the body's internal energy to encourage the free flow of Qi.   Melanie also practices cupping, moxa and gua sha (skin scraping).
